COMMERCIAL AND
March business continues to exceed In vol
ume that of any other similar period In the
history of tho port, and In all lines an enor
mous distributive trade Is reported- The move
ment of wheat has slackened a little so far as
new business Is concerned, but Is still of bis
proportions for so well along In the season.
Potatoes, which, in several seasons In the pact, I
have sold down around 30c and 40c per sack,
are still In demand at 1 25 per cental for
best stock, and butter and poultry are both
selling at the best prices of the season. There
is a slightly easier feeling in hops, due to the
filling of a number of contracts which had
been pending, and which necessitated some
spirited forcing of prices a week or two ago.
"Wool and mohair have not yet commenced to
move, but steps are already being taken for
financing the business. Oats and barley remain
firm, with the local market still dependent on
California for feed stock barley. Provisions
are steady at quotation's, and veal and pork
are firm, in spite of heavy receipts.
California butter, which usually breaks the
Portland market at this season of the year, has
not yet appeared, and the output of the Oregon
creameries is sold before It reaches the market.
Eggs are weak and lower. California Is now
sending In liberal quantities of garden truck.
and among the signs of Spring In the consign
ment which arrived on the steamer Tuesday
night was a lot of cucumbers, which sold at
tho modest rate of 31 50 per doxen. Sugar Is
still restless, and Is not attracting very much
buying, even at the very low rate of 4 35 per
sack. Further declines are 'expected. Coffees
remain firm. .No other changes are reported
In groceries, and the demand for staples is
very heavy.
WHEAT There was a hesitating tone to the
Eastern and foreign wheat market yesterday,
and not much activity locally. Most of the
buyers had their quotations on "Walla "Walla
down around C5c although a fraction more was
Occasionally Intimated, with not very much
offering at any figure. Freights In this mar
ket have been stiffened a little by the recent
charters at a sight advance over the low rate
touched about three weeks ago, and this has
assisted In "stalling" business. Opinions dif
fer as to whether or not further weakness will
be shown, "but the rharter of a ship In San
Francisco j-osterday at 23s Od would Indicate
that there Is not very much strength in the
situation as a whole, there being no valid rea
son why rates should be any lower In San
Francisco than they are in Portland.
The fleet now in the river to load will take
over 1,000,000 bushels of wheat, and there Is
about 1,500.000 bushels at tidewater on Pu-.
get Sound, with tonnage In port or near by
to handle It, "With the cleaning up of these
stocks business will be on a moderate scale
for the remainder of the season. The crop of
1001 was the largest on record, and naturally
even at the fag end of the season stray lota
are always coming out sufficient in the aggre
gate to make up a number of cargoes. This
straggling business Is about all that remains to
be -handled for the rest of the reason, and a
considerable portion of the stocks still held at
Interior points will be needed for milling pur
poses, the mills having nearly six months to
run before any new-crop wheat will be avail
able. Valley farmers are holding more firmly
than those east of the mountains, and the
total Valley exports to date are less than 400,
000 bushels, with a very poor prospect for more
than ono or two additional cargoes to go out
this season. The weather for the past week
has been unfavorable for ro-seedlng, but the
"Winter wheat Is reported to be looking better
than was expected a fortnight ago, and as
usual the reports of damage by frost were
overdrawn.
The Eastern market has hung practically mo
tionless for over a month, and most operators
are expecting a movement very soon. The
nature of the movement in prices Is dependent
almost wholly on the changing condition of
the -growing crop, and the tenacity of the
holders of wheat of the old crop. There Is an
unquestioned scarcity of stocks In Europe, and
America Is the country on which the Old
"World buyers are dependent. If American hold
ers become restless under the Influence of
bright prospects for the coming crop, and
throw their wheat at the European buyers,
the market will go down. If, on the other
hand, the wheat In this country Is held back,
the foreign buyers 'will be forced to come after
It and pay the price demanded. The position is
strong, but there are contingencies.
The Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date
af March 12, prints the following on conditions
In other parts of the world:
Kussla Much snow has recently fallen In
the center and Northwest, whilst Odessa re
ports a strong, drying wind and a lower tem
perature. There Is some mention fcf unsatis
factory conditions in the central and southeast
ern goverments. but, generally .speaking, com
plaints as to the young crops are very few.
. It Is stated that there has been so little Ice In
the Axon! this "Winter that the lower ports
could be reached by steamer easily, but, of
course, owners are not likely to risk their boats
until navigation Is declared open officially.
Shipments last week were larger of wheat, but
light for other articles.
Roumanla Latest advices contain no mention
of frost, and It looks very much as If thero
was to be no severe weather this season, Kua
tendje reports fine mild weather, with some
rain, which latter has benefited the Autumn
sown crops and put the land Into good shape
for Spring plowing. "Wheat shipments last
week were very small.
Australasia The export movement is well
maintained, and the total put afloat so far this
season Is well ahead of anything In recent
years, but we are afraid this lead will not be
maintained till the end of the season, and no
tice that the list of wheat tonnage now en
gaged is much less than Jt was last year at
this time.
India Some light showers are reported, but
the moisture was quite Insufficient to effect any J
real improvement in the crop conditions. Ex
ports last woek were much smaller.
France The weather has remained season
able, and satisfaction with the crop outlook
continues to be expressed. The only complaint
Is that the plant Is somewhat too forward.
Tho mackets last week ruled weak, and prices
fell steadily until by Saturday they were CQOi
per quarter dawn, but a little of this loss was
regained yesterday. The weakness Is ascribed
to the temporary admission law, which has
kept millers from buying, but no doubt the
favorable crop reports will have had the due
influence.
HOPS The local hop market Is distinctly
easier at the present writing. Dealers who
had contracts to fill have apparently satisfied
their Immediate needs, and are not in the
market unless they can buy at 124lSc, tho
latter being quoted as a top figure for the best
atock remaining unsold In the Northwest,
"While stocks In first hands have been" reduced
to pretty small proportlpns. there are still up
wards of 4000 bales floating around In the
hands of growers, dealers and speculators, and
all of which are for sale, so that they exert a
considerable Influence on prices. New crop con
tracting has almost ceased, competition among
dealers running prices up to a figure where the
risk was becoming too great. It is estimated
that fully 20,000 bales of the 1902 crop have
already been contracted for, Bomo of them in
excess of 12c per pound. Some relief Is la
sight for prices In an increased production of
beer, the Increase over a corresponding prriod
a year ago being fully 10 per cent. New Tork
mall advices to March 8 are as follows:
Only a small volume of new business was
reported transacted with brewers, and the few
sales that wore made were principally of Coast
hops. Dealers generally were pushing Coast
hops, as they were able to obtain thera at
Ellghtly lower figures than the prices at which
first hands held state hops; In fact, up-state
growers and country dealers were naming
prices which left dealers practically no margin
of profit to bring supplies forward to this
market and distribute them on the basis of
prices now ruling. .
The Watervllle Times ot March 4 says of the
Watervllle hop market:
There Is still no business to report. The
market Is firm, and dealers can do nothing
with tho few holders without offering prices
above the market considerably. It Is reported
that 17c has been offered for one or two lota,
and one holders says h6 can take ISc We give
this for what It Is worth. Hopgrawers gener
ally are feeling encouraged over ht situation,
as they believe that better prices must prevail
this year.
WOOL The local wool market la steady bat
FINANCIAL NEWS
Inactive. Most of the dealers expect the mar
ket to open at higher figures than a year
ago, and predict a quick movement of the
clip. Mohair U due In about three weeks, and
will open at about 21622c per pound. The
wool market In the East Is thus reviewed by
the New Journal of Commerce, under date of
March 7:
Quiet conditions continue to prevail In the
local wool market, and, from all Indications,
ths state of affairs Is likely to continue for
several weeks. Notwithstanding the lack of
an active demand, prices remain Tery firm,
and holders show no signs of receding from
present prices. Inquiries are numerous, show
ing that manufacturers are keeping In close
touch with, the market, even though they do
not exhibit an Inclination to operate on a lib
eral scale at the present time. Reports of
sales are- to hand, but It Is believed that
wherever these have been made there was some
special reason for It, as full asking prices have
been paid in every case. Buyers have been
edcuated to believe that each week would see
a firmer level of prices established, and this
week offers made were somewhat nearer hold
ers' Ideas than It was possible to obtain last
week.
Mills are reported to nave good orders on
hand for future delivery, and although the
opening of many of the new heavy-weight
lines has not been attended with the success
anticipated, business is epected to Improve
steadily as the season progresses. In the
meantime, however, buyers of the raw ma
terial aro going slow and awaiting the advent
of further orders before doing more purchasing.
There has been somo movement In pulled
wools, .during the week, but buyers' Ideas as a
rule are not on a level with holders'. The
principal interest has centercdv in tho finer
grade stocks, and prices are strongly main
tained. Fine combings have sold at from 34c
to 35c, and continue stiff, owing to the scarci
ty of stocks. Reports have It that a lot of A
super has been sold at private terms which
were slightly below market quotations, but
this Is an exception, as the majority of As are
held at very firm prices. Fine As continue
firm at 44t?40c, while 20020c Is a fair price
for C supers.
The carpet wool market continues In a quiet
state, though it Is probable a good deal more
wool has been sold than has been reported.
Sales of China are reported, but details are
withheld,
POTATOES AND ONIONS The local market
seems a trifle unsteady on account of the
failure of San Francisco to take up all of the
offerings at good figures. At the same time,
beet stock is still selling for $1 25 per cental,
and from that figure down as low as 80900c
per cental. There Is some demand for Early
Rose for seed, and sales of this class of stock
have been made around Jl 60 per cental.
Onions are weaker. The good crop In Colo
rado has rendered It Impossible for Oregon
shippers to do much In Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas, which In past years have offered a
good market. San Francisco flattened out un
der heavy receipts, and f 1 00 is now an out
side figure for good stock, although an occa
sional small lot of fancy selects might com
mand slightly higher figures.
BUTTER Tho Portland market Is pretty
well cleaned up on bestcreamery butter, and
dealers are ha'lng considerable difficulty in
securing enough to meet the demands of thetr
regular customers. Most of the Valley cream
eries report the output Increasing a little, but
also state that the demand Is increasing In
keeping with the supply, so that the market
is sold up to the limit all or the time. Ordi
narily, California butter reaches this market
earlier than March 1. but this year It is be
lated, but is now expected to begin coming
within a few days, as the San Francisco mar
ket has weakened, and advantage will be
taken, of the high prices In the north to work
off some of the surplus stock. Store butter Is
also In good demand, with receipts very light.
From present appearances, there will be a
'much larger demand for butter this Spring
than ever before., and It Is hardly probable
that prices will sink to very low figures.
EGGS Eggs are In rather an unsettled state.
As has been stated, the decline In price has
greatly Increased the consumption, but re
ceipts have been 80 heavy that a rally In
price is not probable. In round lots they were
stilt obtainable at 13Hc yesterday, but most
of the sales were made at 14o for single cases.
Over 1000 cases have been shipped out of the
city within the past week, and this has helped
the market a little. Puget Sound cities were
pretty well stocked up on California eggs when
the decline began, but they are now in thq
market again, and will aid In keeping prices
steady.
POULTRY Chickens are scarcer than they
have been for a long, time, and prices are up
to .fancy figures for good stock, some sales be
ing made yesterday as high as 88 per dozen,
with the ordinary run of offerings' selling
around $4 and upwards. No dressed chickens
were pn the market yesterday, but fancy
stock would have brought 12V4c per pound.
Geese were a shade better at H 507 per doz
en, but the demand for ducks was on a very
limited scale, and they are weak at quota
tions. Dressed turkeys sold well yesterday .best
stock bringing 18c, and live were In fair de
mand at 1218c per pound.

Rain Reports Cause CbicaRo Bears
to Sell Wheat Liberally.
CHICAGO, March 12. Bears started to sell
wheat liberally at the opening on tho rain
reports. The Southwest, which has been re
ported as suffering badly for moisture, seemed
to have received a good drenching. Thist
started May wheat e lower, at 70U76c, and
Influenced a further dip to 73c News other
than that of the passage of the drouth was
given little attention. Cables were slightly
lower, but receipts were small, and coarse
grains seemed to have abundance of latent
strength; Two days ago wheat was selling at
7S4c for May. At the low price today, short
sales made at the high figure made good proflts,
and the crowd soon saw that the market was
oversold. On top of this came news of a dis
position toward better business at the seaboard.
May sold up sharply to 7G"4e, and closed almost
Arm, a shade lower, at 764c
Corn opened a little easier on wheat weak
ness, and bears did some short selling. The
rain and late wheat weakness caused a rally.
May closed firm. 96ttc higher, at C2&663Hc
Oats were fairly active and nervous early, but
trade turned dull and developed Into a scalping
affair. May closed strong, c up, at 45Hc

KEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Show ef Animation on an Upward
Baage ef Prices.
NEW YORK. MaVch 12. There was somo
show of animation In today's stock market on
an upward range of prices. The strength did
not permeate the whole market, but therq were
the usual number of prominent stocks con
cerned in the movement. The most conspicu
ous of these was Amalgamated Copper, In
which there was evidence of liquidation, with
only occasional intermissions during which the
fall received a momentary check. The extreme
decline reached 4 points. Tho selling of the
stock was accompanied by rumors that the
next dividend will be reduced or passed. No
'authoritative Information was to be had oa
tho subject, nr oa the laaay reports that the
warketlac of the compaay's. turpi steak bad
Involved many heavjf leasee. The wealgtesa of
this stock .gaye aa occasional check la the ad
vance at ether pelats, but, did sot materially
affect the streamer teadeacr of tfce jaatfekt.
Coveriag by alarmed .aborts see&d to slay
a part la the advaace. efcpeiaUy,la;ibe coalers,
which have beea freely se4d oe nutct t&t
the aathraeite miners were'detetadfea to pjaah
demands that would not be granted. Today
equally assured predletioas -were heard that
there would" fca no labor CrouEleT In Tfio coal
trade Another case -where speculative senti
ment was reversed from that ot yesterday was
on the outlook for the Wlater -wheat, 'crop, "on
reports of copious, ralas Ja T.txu and the
Southwest. , ""
The calmness of the money market was the
final factor of & general character ot the
strength la stocks. The- rate for maey is
firm, and nobody is fouacL to.pradict aa early
relaxation of rates, but feeling was rjAsaured
today that there is no immediate danger ot
forcing a ceadltloa of stringency. It Is sup
posed that the trast coatfeale are pultlag out
loans at the hlgheet rates, asd. tans relieving
some ef the pressure upoa -the beaks. Special
strength was shown today by General Electric
and the Readings. There were gains ot & point
or over for a large "number of stocks which
were modified by a late realizing" movement.
The bond market ccatlxaes- .rather Irregular
and moderately active. Total sales, par value,
12,340,000. United States bonds were unchanged
on the last call.
